Enzo furrowed his eyebrows worriedly. "It's not supposed to hurt, I'm pretty sure..." He muttered, more to himself as he didn't want Lindsey to get worried. "I'll go as fast as I can." He promised her, extending his hand and resting it on her thigh, giving her a comforting squeeze.

Lindsey groaned, shaking her head. "I don't know what's wrong....it's not suppose to be this bad, is it?" she mumbled back. She looked over at Enzo with a small smile of thanks at what he said, and slid her hand over his, grasping it for more comfort. After a while, Lindsey felt another small pain as she winced from the sudden discomfort, and looked up to ask Enzo, "Are we there, yet?" her tone sounding more of an emergency now.

Enzo just bit his lip, worried as well. He looked at the surroundings, noticing they were nearing the hospital. "Almost." He promised her, getting through a few more stop lights before pulling into the hospital parking lot.

Lindsey nodded, looking down weakly at her small bump of a stomach, placing her hand gently on it. Why me? Why now of all times? she kept thinking to herself, until she noticed them finally parked in the hospital parking lot. She unbuckled herself, and slowly got out of the car. She started feeling nausea then, and even leaned down, feeling like she had to toss up her breakfast, right here, right now.

Enzo wearily turned off the car and got out, staying on his side. "Are you going to be okay over there?" He asked her weakly, not one for having enough stomach to see someone's vomit. He went to the front of the car, still not sure if it was safe for him to be right next to her.

Lindsey stayed leaned over for a little longer. She only half expected Enzo to come by her side, but at the same time she understood why he stayed on the other side still. "I'm fine..just, give me a minute..." she called out to him, as she spat on the ground acting as though something really was going to come up. A short moment later, Lindsey finally stood up right again, walking back to Enzo slowly. "I'm alright. Let's just get in there and see what the hell is wrong with me..." she finally said, looping her arm through Enzo's so she could lean on him while they walked.

Enzo nodded, sliding his arm out and instead putting it across her shoulders, holding her steady as he led her into the ER and walked her up to the front desk. "Are you okay enough to talk?" He asked Lindsey quietly.

Lindsey nodded in response, as they walked up to the front desk. She easily gave them her name and reason to be there, and since she was there not too long ago, they already had all her information down. "Follow me, and we'll get you a room to wait in for the doctor." The lady had told them, and they followed her into the small room where Lindsey led herself to the table to curl up on. "I feel so sick...like something more than the baby is wrong with me...." she mumbled, more to herself than anything.

Enzo frowned as he sat in the chair for the patient's guests. "I guess... hopefully? It's just a stomach bug." He tried, not really sure how a stomach bug would affect a baby, but figuring it was better than hearing she or the baby was hurt, or worse... that she miscarried. He shook his head. "I'm sure everything will be fine." He assured her.

"Yeah...hopefully..." Lindsey mumbled, curling her legs up to her as she rested on her side facing Enzo, as they both anxiously waited for the doctor to show up. "All I hope for is that the baby's alright. I really don't want anything happening to it."

Enzo nodded, trying to relax as he waited for the doctor to come in. He bit on his nails, anxious to find out what was wrong.

As the doctor came in, asking his usual questions, he and Lindsey both agreed on a few tests. Once those were out of the way, they waited what seemed like fifteen minutes before the results came back. "Well, Linsdsey. Obviously you know you're pregnant. But....hold on, did you know you were pregnant with, twins?" he looked up at her, followed by Enzo as if he might of known. Lindsey's face was just in pure shock, her jaw was dropped, and eyes were wide. "Twins?" she repeated, as if in a whisper. The doctor nodded, continuing with the news. "But...." Oh, this was never good. He's doing the But line. "It looks like, unfortunately, one of the babies did not make it." A miscarriage? Oh, this was not a good day. Not a good day for Lindsey, at all. "Fortunately, the other baby is still alive and growing perfectly fine. The sickness and pains you've been having could be part of one of two things, or both. The miscarriage you faced....or just the usual makings of being pregnant, and getting used to it all. Other than that though, everything looks good." With that, even if Lindsey was still sitting their in shock, a tiny bit of her was still relieved to hear that at least one of the babies was doing alright. She and Enzo did their paying, and headed back to the car, in silence.

Enzo felt like if his eyes got any wider, they'd fall out of his face. We were supposed to have twins? Was all that kept repeating in his mind. He was happy the other one was alright. What he felt the worst about was that a part of him was relieved-there was no way they would've been able to afford two babies. As it was, Enzo and his brothers were now sitting just above comfort level when it came to their economic status. Between Ame and himself, they made just enough to cover rent, bills, and food for the month, as well as about $50 spending money each. Enzo was lost in his thoughts, not even realizing right away they were at his car already. He rubbed Lindsey back as he opened her door, shutting it after she got in and going into the driver's seat. He took a deep breath and squeezed Lindsey's thigh before bringing his hand to hers. "Are you okay?" He asked her sincerely.

Lindsey's body seemed frozen the whole time they were silent, even when they were back in the car, she seemed to not move until he finally spoke to her. She turned her head slowly, with a scared look on her face. "Enzo, I...." she didn't know exactly what to say, she wanted to say she was alright, but that would of been a lie. And soon enough, tear after tear started drifting down her long face.

Enzo frowned and pulled her into a somewhat awkward hug, mutterings of "it's okay" every so often escaping his lips. Of course he felt bad, he couldn't imagine what she must have been feeling at the moment. "Just let it out..." He told her simply, quietly, letting her cry on his shoulder.
